The capital requirements for UBS will be determined by its size and the effectiveness of its resolution strategies.
The Swiss government is also evaluating the capitalization standards for foreign subsidiaries of banks, such as Credit Suisse's subsidiaries in the US and UK.
The specifics of these requirements will depend on UBS's unique circumstances.
The government is considering progressive components and stress tests as part of the capital requirements.
UBS has expressed concerns that higher capital requirements could impact its competitiveness.
The Swiss government is also considering imposing fines on banks to enhance accountability.
The issue of executive compensation at UBS is under scrutiny, and mechanisms for clawbacks on compensation are being considered.
There is a possibility of limiting bankers' pay through a referendum.
UBS's future will depend on its ability to adapt to evolving standards and the Swiss government's commitment to enhancing stability while considering competitiveness.
